Distal esophageal cancer
My mother is diagnosed with distal esophageal cancer, received 15 RT. Cancerous Mass (less then 2 cm) was reduced up to 25%, good improvement was seen. After 40 days of treatment when she started mouth feeding again. she was eating quite nicely semi solids, but within 15 days she started facing problems and when endoscopy is done she was seen some blockage of distal esophagus may be due to food derbies as told in endoscopic report. She can't eat anything now, suggest us the treatment...
